Re: Windows 10 1809 Feature Update - Not supported at this time

Is there any new information on this topic? Yesterday I had a bit of a panic when my computer alerted me to an update ready to install. I had paused updates some time ago but Windows 10 only allows a 30-day pause before launching the update. The latest update was 2018-1803, I re-paused updates for another 30 days. After searching the Internet for another method to stop updates I found that you could go into Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Updates and disable updates, has anybody tried this? Just looking for some direction.

Regardless of what Microsoft might say, I would wait for the OK from someone at Avid (eg. Marianna) before you allow any updates to be performed.

There are various ways to stop updates completely that float around on the internet, but I would recommend you use something called 'Shutup10' from O&O. This bit of software will give you full control over which functions are allowed in Win 10 - including disabling lots of data collection routines that potentially compromise your privacy.

It's portable software, so it doen't need installing and has restore points, so you can always go back and undo changes.

I am not having any problems. The October Windows 1809 revision is likely to be released early November. You should be abe to defer that for a few weeks at least. You should be running 1803 now. That was released last spring.
